Why should I be concerned about

antibiotics being fed to chickens?

Research suggests that overuse of antibiotics in livestock, usually as a growth promoter,

can be a cause of antibiotic resistance

in humans.

What is our position on the routine use of antibiotics in

animal feed?

We prohibit the purchase of non processed chicken products in which

antibiotics have been used for growth promotion purposes.

Our purchasing policy was developed in partnership with The Environmental Defense Fund.
